such is in baltimore -- lisa is in baltimore. go ahead. caller: hi. the speech last night, he signed, sealed, and delivered it. i feel he will be our next president. host: thanks for your call. tulsa, oklahoma, gilbert is on our independent line. hi, go ahead. we will put that on hold and i'm sorry, go ahead. caller: i'm sorry. one of the things i thought was astounding at both conventions was at the rnc there was not one mention of george bush or dick cheney, nothing about them. and nothing about sarah palin. sarah palin helped to put the rnc in the power they have and she did not speak. what the guy just said about saving souls, where are the christian churches on fighting these wars? not one church has mentioned stopping these wars and killing innocent people. in oklahoma where i am, we just had a serious fire in medford, oklahoma. 90% of those homes did not have insurance. the person who would not meet the president at the airport had her hand out for fema. host: the governor? caller: yes. and in oklahoma, 75,000 people work for the federal govern

now to baltimore, maryland. stephen, thanks for calling. caller: good morning. i'm a 20-year-old college student, conservative and hard, but when mitt romney makes a comment on redistribution of wealth, i would have to agree, because it is hurting the economy. even though i am a beneficiary. as far as him making the comments at a private fund- raiser, that is his own ideology, his own opinion. i don't believe that should affect his campaign in any negative manner. host: this on twitter -- i want to go next to kathleen from north carolina. how do you think the romney campaign has reacted to the comments yesterday and the fervor it created? caller: i really think the romney campaign needed to sit back and let the rest of the united states think for themselves, because his comments was right. i became a republic in the day after nancy pelosi walked up the steps of the courthouse with a huge gamble in her hand, because i thought the democratic party had left me behind and i don't want to live under the heavy hand of the government. that is exactly why i left the dem
